Curated by ArtScience Museum, New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed is opening a portal to extraordinary new worlds.
The exhibition will uncover new perspectives on the genre of science fiction, encountering multiple futures and alternative realms, inspired by Asia’s rich history and culture.
New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed is a contemporary art exhibition that shows how women artists and collectives from Asia are addressing science fiction, dream worlds and fantastical realities in their work. Featuring artworks, artefacts, Hollywood and Asian films, this exhibition offers visitors a unique journey through time and space to uncover fascinating realms and strange lifeforms. It expands on Western science fiction paradigms such as parallel worlds and interstellar travel, whilst exploring Asian mythologies and philosophies – including hybridity, mysticism, moving beyond humanity’s corporeal limitations, and the enduring fantasy of an other-worldly paradise.
As more diverse voices emerge, the traditionally male-dominated science fiction genre is slowly evolving. This exhibition takes the opportunity to celebrate the importance of Asian women artists and to showcase alternative voices, focusing on their visions of what a more inclusive future might look like.
